I pulled out the major shoots. They were about 5 feet high. Now I know that it's running bamboo because I have found shoots that are from the roots but they are 10 feet away from the original shoots that I planted. so I cut the roots and sprayed round up on the ends within 15 seconds. (that's what I was told to do) Is there a better way to get rid of it? Quote \| Reply \| Report

Keep the round up handy because other than digging out that entire area and putting in fresh soil I don't know any other way. Quote \| Reply \| Report
